Magnum - The Present Not The Past Lyrics

I am forsaken and down
Can't catch my breath
Condemned, always to wander
Though I couldn't care less
Strange how some people fall to the side
And there's some disappear
Oh I try to remember
In this dark atmosphere

Come on and wake me up
I won't look back
You know I understand

Live the present not the past
Wisdom is king
The Joker he laughed
Dead is such a long long time
Won't get away
All of mankind

I met a man who was sure
Could tell me a lot
His price: one glass of water
And the truth he'd unlock
When you think you've got everything
That's your first big mistake
You try to be so clever
But there is no escape

Come on and wake me up
I won't look back
You know I understand

Live the present not the past
Wisdom is king
The Joker he laughed
Dead is such a long long time
Won't get away
All of mankind
Year by year they go so fast
And everything's
A blurred photograph
Day by day's a real hard climb
Getting nowhere
In fact it's a crime

Come on and wake me up
I won't look back
You know I understand

Live the present not the past
Wisdom is king
The Joker he laughed
Dead is such a long long time
Won't get away
All of mankind
Year by year they go so fast
And everything's
A blurred photograph
Day by day's a real hard climb
Getting nowhere
In fact it's a crime
